1. Schematic Map of the Probation System
Croatia
3rd October 2017
System Maps originate from the EU-funded DOMICE Project ( ). They are flow charts which help you to understand and interrogate the probation system in each jurisdiction. There are two main screens for each jurisdiction. The first shows what probation does; the second how it is organised. They compliment the Probation in Europe Handbook and include much of the data from the relevant chapters. The aim is to provide an easily accessible summary of current probation arrangements to support case transfers and co-operative working
Each map shows the probation system in 4 “domains” – 1: Pre-Trial Provisions; 2: Non-Custodial Options; 3: Immediate Custody and 4: Early Release. Almost all probation casework can be fitted into one of these 4 “domains”
They are built using Microsoft PowerPoint. You can download and run the files, and even amend them for your own use. Make sure that you run the file in SLIDE SHOW mode (.pps or .ppsx) not PRESENTATION mode (ppt or .pptx) to get full access to all the hidden information.
You cannot upload amended files. If you think one needs to be amended, please contact the address below
